A more firm grip on their external websites
Royal FrieslandCampina wanted to get a firmer grip on its external websites. FrieslandCampina’s IT department wanted to focus on SSL certificates and the expiry of these certificates, as well as eliminating manually checking websites for compliance issues. Their SSL certificates should be renewed on time to eliminate the risk of unavailable websites.
How Royal FrieslandCampina uses Nixon
- Validate that their certificates are still legitimate with the CA or server.
- Monitor their certificates to ensure it is stored securely and is not expiring.
- Discover where their certificates are installed and if it is implemented correctly.

How did Nixon Digital help FrieslandCampina?
In a 10-week onboarding period, we helped Royal FrieslandCampina integrate its existing DNS and domain partner. We automated the detection of new web applications. FrieslandCampina operates with a central team and utilizes a companywide ITSM system that is based on the Nixon Platform. Now they can delegate to whoever is responsible. By syncing the CMDB / ITSM solution, we are helping integrate the Nixon Platform with ServiceNow.
- Eliminating the manual checks of 200+ websites.
- Streamline their workflow with automatic scans with relevant findings.
- Discovering hidden subdomain vulnerabilities.
With the help of the Nixon Platform we finally have a complete, realtime overview of our all our websites and domains. The automated smart scanners save us hours of work and make sure we are directly notified when our compliance framework is not implemented correctly.
